forwarded 704885 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi/?id=14733 # from upstream: "use last 3.8.5 vanilla kernel compiled myself and # this bug exist". Approximating: found 704885 linux/3.8.5-1~experimental.1 # from the report: "The same behaviour happens with the kernel of the # current stable release (Squeeze)". Guessing: found 704885 linux-2.6/2.6.32-48squeeze1 quit
